People in Russia wear their national clothes in festivals, such as Maslenitsa Festival, Victory Day. Probably the most iconic Russian garment – well, more of an accessory – is the Ushanka . These distinctive, fur-lined caps with their trademark earflaps protect Russians from brutally cold winters. They also included a heavily padded leather crown that not only provided vital warmth to the head, but also protected it from blunt force trauma, such as slipping on the ice. Comfortable and practical!
